The Deputy will appreciate that I have no direct role in the procedures concerned which are an operational matter for the Garda authorities.
I am however informed by the Garda authorities that traffic collisions are investigated in accordance with Garda traffic collision investigation policy and that Garda Forensic Collision Investigators attend the scene of every fatal road traffic collision, and every collision where information indicates that there is a likelihood of a fatality resulting from that collision.
